re: Money in Escrow Account- Tax Assessor Question
Posted by bayoutiger225 on 1/31/24 at 7:14 pm
Yep just did. Looks like they did do an escrow analysis and will be sending me a check for a healthy sum. They are still estimating my property taxes to be nearly double what my neighbors is which is odd. Not sure why that is but I should have some more clarification tomorrow....

Money in Escrow Account- Tax Assessor Question
Posted by bayoutiger225 on 1/31/24 at 1:25 pm
I recently completed construction of my house and we moved in around Labor Day.
Since it's a new build the tax assessor hasn't taken into account the value of the home yet so our parish taxes were low compared to when it will be newly assessed.
I went and looked at my neighbors property and t...
re: Custom Home Builder
Posted by bayoutiger225 on 11/24/23 at 9:19 am
I used compound construction out of Baton Rouge. The owner is Jeigh hymel. Good guy and all he does is custom. We self contracted most of the work but when it came to labor we used his crews for the foundation and blacking in.
We’d then supply his crews with materials so I could control costs. W...

re: New construction house advice
Posted by bayoutiger225 on 4/30/23 at 8:37 am
I think it just depends on how comfortable you'd be with living in construction. If you have kids and then decide you want real hard wood floors are you willing to rip up the existing floor and live through that?
Is there a particular price point you have in mind?

re: New construction house advice
Posted by bayoutiger225 on 4/29/23 at 8:47 pm
I'd say probably not. Im sure there are different codes for that area. My house is in the Lafayette area.
We did a post tension slab, and have painted brick on most of the exterior and then some jut outs for the master bathroom is antique brick that we will leave unpainted....
re: New construction house advice

We started our build in October of 22. We essentially built our house for $191/SQFT.
That includes the cost of our lot.
If you take out the cost of our lot we built our house for $145/SQFT. You can build a fantastic house for that price for square foot. We have thermador/sub zero appliances, qua...

re: Retaining Wall Contractors-Acadiana Region

Probably 6' at the tallest point and it would taper down to 3' or around there to go with the contours of the lot.

Retaining Wall Contractors-Acadiana Region
Posted by bayoutiger225 on 1/4/23 at 1:11 pm
Does anyone have experience with contractors who build retaining walls? I probably need two for my future landscaping. Ive talked to a few landscape companies who say they can do it but it seems like no one really specializes in them. And when they do mention retaining walls I can see the dollar sig...
re: Wireless Access Point Question
Posted by bayoutiger225 on 12/30/22 at 7:42 pm
Makes sense. I think I’ll just get a standard modem and then the mesh system for routing if it’s going to do that anyways.
Do you have any modem preferences?
So my setup will look like ISP to modem, modem to main mesh point, then to switch panel, and finally to panel before going out to the hou...
re: Wireless Access Point Question
Posted by bayoutiger225 on 12/30/22 at 6:47 pm
Ok. I think that’s the route I may go. A router/mesh combo with hardwired devices and then a mesh system.
With my netgear modem/router combo I think it would be beneficial to get a netgear mesh system for continuity purposes.
The mesh system just May need some setup help to work with the mod...
re: Wireless Access Point Question
Posted by bayoutiger225 on 12/30/22 at 3:18 pm
Ok so it would probably be overkill but I could theoretically get a modem/router setup and then use a mesh setup throughout the house where I want and run ethernet from the mesh to the panel.
Does that sound doable/reasonable?

re: Wireless Access Point Question
Posted by bayoutiger225 on 12/30/22 at 2:43 pm
Got it. The idea is to have one network with a modem/router that broadcasts a signal.
Then two access points. They won’t be used until later for the most part but I’d still like them.
If I were to use mesh units that would essentially void the work I did for Ethernet right? Everything would ...
re: Wireless Access Point Question
Posted by bayoutiger225 on 12/30/22 at 1:50 pm
I would get a system that is POE more than likely. Cables have been run to the walls and down near the power outlets.
I was just going to get a low voltage gangway and begin the termination process for them. I wired it essentially where every jack will have a close by outlet should I need it.

Wireless Access Point Question
Posted by bayoutiger225 on 12/30/22 at 1:30 pm
Im building a new house and have run ethernet for TVs, printers, etc. I ran a few more cables for future WAP in the house should I need it.
My main question for these points is if I can just plug them into my patch panel like any other device?
My thought process is to have a modem/router that ...
re: U.S. Oil Exports Hit Record High
Posted by bayoutiger225 on 12/6/22 at 9:56 am
Ironically a majority of our refineries are setup to use heavy crude oil to refine into products including gasoline.
What we are exporting is normally lighter crudes that won’t work with the majority of refineries.
That coupled with the fact that no new refineries have been built in 70 years...
